Legal Question in Construction Law in California

If I file a stop notice on a construction project in California and the amount increases, do I file an amended stop notice, or do I have to file a release of stop notice on the lower amount, and then file an amended notice ?

If you release first, you destroy the continuity of its effect and also the timeliness. Also, a release would suggest that the claims made in the original notice had been satisfied. Amend with the first notice still in place.
